Bilingual
I hear the voices in the water
Curling up like smoke rings through the weeds
And I'll have to spend some time to relocate that house of mine
I think I must have lost it in the river
And I wouldn't give you the time of day
But you've come to take it anyway
And I crush snow on my face, it feels like leather
And the birds are black things singing in the trees
If I got myself a gun, then I could shoot them - every one
Maybe I've just invented some religion
And I know you've got this great secret
But your green eyes give nothing away
And I hum a birthday whistle to my heartbeat
And I'm sure I'm looking much too hard to see
Do you think now at last you could tell me?
But you won't give it away
I saw Father dancing with his daughter
And the strings are singing softly on the breeze
But I can't see or hear salvation anywhere
I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
And I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
And you've heard all this before already, I know, I know
So I won't say anymore
